Background: The paper addresses the issue of violence among correctional officers. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of exposure to violence in this professional group. Materials and methods: The study comprised the sample of 222 correctional officers who voluntary and anonymously fulfilled the MDM questionnaire. The MDM Questionnaire allows for assessing exposure to aggression and mobbing at work. Results: Preliminary assessment of exposure to single aggressive acts and mobbing shows a quite alarming tendency - around one third of subjects under the study experienced repetitive aggressive acts from coworkers and/or superiors. Conclusions: The problem of organizational aggression in correctional institutions should be recognized in details to develop effective preventive measures against violent behaviors occurring at work.
